Dont spend your sympathy for the gent Jackson, however. He came back to win the $150,-00- 0 Open on his own. Sunday, November 16, 1969 Study Proposal The Utah Highway department has proposed taking fill material from behind the old Willard dike for use in construction of Interestate-1in the Willard area. This deserves nothing less than careful consideration on the part of the Box Elder County commission 5 since the dike area is county-owne- There are a number of questions that should be answered befort a decision is rendered. Among them we suggest these: How will this substantial excavation affect the structural efficiency of the dike? Would it represent another flood threat, the very thing the dike was constructed to eliminate, by impounding too much water during spring runoff? - How would the water be drained? Certainly not over the existing spillway if the impoundment floor is lowered an average 10 feet. If the water does not drain through an outlet, will it seep into the pourous Willard soil or might it create an unhealthy and unpleasant swampy condition? This call for a detailed study should not be interpreted to mean we oppose the dike area as a source of fill material. On the contrary, if it proves feasible, we welcome it. Why? Because the diggings, a trademark in mans march of progress, will be hidden from general view. We certainly consider this perferable to the ugly scar that now marks the red rock mountain face east of Willard, source .of rock for the Willard reservoir dike. Or the pit in northeast Brigham City or others north of the city which yielded fill for the interstate highway. If every such desecration of Natures landscape could be shielded from view of our roads and residential areas, wed be the first and the loudest to applaud. . by Bruce ia , Hey, how about that Ed Garrison playing in the Kaiser Inter- national Open California with the likes of Palmer, Nicklaus, Casper, et al.

The champion vote-getton the list is John Phillips, who received 696 votes. John B. Mathias comes next with 694. A. M. Hansen, 628, and Mayor Peters comes next with 622. In the Salt Lake Wednesday, Nov. 5, ,1919 Miss Hilda Rhodes of of the marriage temple today Lehi and R. W. Forrest of this city will be solemized. The bride is a charming and winsome young lady and is popular in her wide circle of friends. The groom is a son of Mr. and Mrs. John Forrest. He was a member of the 145th Field Artillery band and was in the service of his country for a year and a half. Six months of this time was spent in France. Mr. Forrest is engaged in the mercantile business with his father and is a young man of sterling worth. Mr. and Mrs. Forrest will reside in Brigham City. Non-Partisa- far as we know, interest in taking action on the matter is deader than the proverbial Dodo bird. Not wont to give up so easily, we are renewing the plea for trees. Theyll not only beautify the area but help to 'draw attention away from our garbage So deposit activities there. Obviously the proposal has some merit for, as we pointed out earlier, trees previously were planted on the county-owneproperty but soon died for lack of proper maintenance and attention. The mistake was in letting them die. Why compound it with continued inaction? Wed like to suggest that the county take the initiative here to determine what type of trees should be planted and to get them ordered. Certainly now is the time. Its possible that an arrangement can be worked out with Brigham City for watering and care. Whatever course is concluded most feasible, we should get busy on it now.

We know the city administration would like to put it to some constructive use and any proposal certainly will receive full consideration. Should it be shooting range or be converted to some other purpose? Well ask this question of the community and hope some answers are forthcoming. Whatever the answer, wed like to see this and some of the other unsightly conditions around the old dump cleaned up. Attend Institute Want to become better informed on a vitar issue of the day? Then plan to attend the Utah Institute of Drug Problems this week. It will require a small investment of money a tuition fee of $1.50 and a larger investment of time three hours each evening Wednesday through Friday plus Saturday morning. But we assure you it will be time well spent The institute, with three sessions scheduled at Box Elder High school and a fourth at Bear River High, is an effort to give you only the facts. It eliminates the fallacies and phony tales too often associated with todays drug abuse issue. Hopefully, when enough people become sufficiently informed, society will more effectively cope with this ill of our challenging time.

And I thought how different now to what it was 50 years ago when old Charlie Forsgren used to ride his horse up to the shade of our trees and sing, "Oh, its nice to get up in the morning when the sun begins to shine, at four or five or six in the good old summer time. But when the sun isnt shining and its murky overhead, OOOoooo Its nice to get up in the morning but its nicer to lie in your bed. That fine old song about getting up early and getting to work is not heard any more. All we hear or want to hear, is how much nicer it is to lie in you bed and let daddy and grandma do the work. This attitude toward work seems to be everywhere. Everybody is talking about it Even the President in his address to the nation said, "If we can white, black, persuade the youth of the country red or yellow, to come together in work and play, our problems can be solved. Eisenhower said, "I am not so much concerned about Communism from without $ I am indolence, apathy, and moral decay from within, which has ruined every nation of the past, and can ruin ours if we do not wake up before it is everlastingly too late and help our children build a better world to live in.

I wonder how you go about getting a reply from the Brigham City Board of Health or the city attorney. Under date of Oct. 10 I sent a letter to the Brigham City corporation and requested a photocopy of the "copy of the ordinance or resolution authorizing fluoridation, which the city was required to submit for approval to the State Department of Health. To cover the cost of the photocopy, I enclosed a dime. To date I have not had any reply, nor has the dime been returned to me. Under date of Sept. 8, and again on Oct. 9, I sent letters to the local board of health. I filed a complaint with them concerning a sanitary problem.
